There is none. But if the multimodal model is exposed to enough medical knowledge, it may be able to interpret images without specific training

It’s hard to imagine this not happening in the next five years. Just depends on who is prepared to take on the radiologists to reduce their fee codes. Speaking as 2nd year radiology resident in Australia

Really enjoyed your contributions to this thread, thanks.

I’m a first year radiology registrar (PGY3) in Australia looking to find others doing interesting work in this domain, if you think I could help with your efforts feel free to DM

I think the suggestion was more along the lines of “screening programmes have their place, but their variables should be optimised”

Strongly agree. I would be surprised if Elon himself doesn’t realise this, and is just using the phrase as a promotional tool. At the end of the day, he’s just hoping to buy a medium that has long term growth potential.

New comment by reubens in "Making the dislike count private across YouTube"

A lot of comments about the inconvenience to the viewer given this was how we decided whether to watch a video.

But I think the dislike ratio will still decide whether a video is suggested to you, so will still determine whether you end up watching the video?

> I don't think exactly that her doctors were wrong in believing that her death was imminent

This is the crux of it. It's hard to predict exactly when people will die. Spend enough time with palliative care physicians and the phrase "if I had a crystal ball" is burned into your memory

Misinformation, because it encourages a practice that is counter to the recommendations. Because it allows for a conclusion to be drawn that is counter to the recommendations.

The quote mentioned that store-bought masks don't prevent infection. He didn't say that they work poorly. The recommendations suggest that having any mask is better than having no mask.

Seeing the exchange price graphs coalesce in red like that... it's a sight to behold. I feel for the vulnerable recent converts.

I love your landing page. Accessible, well-balanced... you clearly have garnered a degree of frontend experience to complement the work on the backend

Ask HN: What is your experience of collaborating with doctors on IT projects?

reubens — Tue, 06 Apr 2021 22:48:25 +0000

I’m a doctor in Victoria, Australia, beginning collaborations with the IT department in our hospital. I want to know more about the experience of software engineers / sysadmins / specialists working with doctors, and what pitfalls I can try to avoid.

I love this.

Typo FWIW on page 8:

From 'View From a Height', by Isaac Asimov:

"And just as an organism in the embryonic stages seems to race through the aeons of evolutionary development, from single cell to ultimate complexity, in mere weeks or months; so the individual scientist in the course of their life repeats the history of science and loses themselves, by progressive stages, in the orchard [of science]."

"You have to do give them just enough info to get started and hope it catches."

That's an important mantra, I think. If you cast the net wide enough, you'll find something they like, and want to follow... but it might not be programming.

"For other captions, such as “a snail made of harp,” the results are less good, with images that combine snails and harps in odd ways." [0]

You try drawing a snail made of harp! Seriously! DALL-E did an incredible job
